Originally Posted By Shooba I do think they upped the ante on the creativity and difficulty of the challenges in the last two seasons, with the second-to-last season having the best. All I know for sure is, every season so far has been entertaining and fresh. As long as it continues to be this good, I don't care which season is "best".

Originally Posted By itsme Ive also noticed it seems they give thme more food each season while saying how much tougher it will be. Whether it be by reward or just the daily rations, it seems to me they have been giving them more to eat.

Originally Posted By Labuda Ok, I'll be the one to break the silence. (What a shocker, eh? *wink*) Anyhow, I think it was super dumb of the older ladies to vote off the lumber jill. Eric & I both think that there's pretty much no chance in hell of those 3 making it far unless whichever one is left after they lose the next 3 immunity challenges makes good friends with someone in the tribe they end up joining.
Originally Posted By TomSawyer My wife was kind of rooting for the older ladies until the vote. Why on earth keep the lady who is afraid of leaves while getting rid of the one who has outdoor skills? I think it was one of the dumber moves I've seen on Survivor.
Originally Posted By Chelledun I hate it when they get too caught up in voting off people who will be "threats" the first week. It isn't going to matter whether you voted the threats off if your whole team is gone before the merge!!! This happened also on the season with the male/female teams that Chris ended up winning. The older men voted off all the athletes and their whole team ended up gone before the final six. Team play IS important, at least initially!
Originally Posted By Indigo What do you think about the four team format? I wasn't sure I'd like it, but with a tribe switch-a-roo next week, I think it will be kept interesting.

Originally Posted By seanyoda I think LumberJill suffered because she walked away from the other three women. She didn't even say, "Hey, I need some alone time." It's not exactly a way to make your tribemates want to keep you. Compare that with the reward challenge results. When Danielle offered to stay on Exile Island after finishing last in the RC, the other women turned her down and opted to play rock-paper-scissors instead. It just reminds everyone that part of the game is psychological. Of course, with next week looking like a switcheroo week, I'm going to wonder, are they going to dissolve the older women's tribe and have each member join the remaining three tribes? Or is it going to be some other switcheroo? Oh! Survivors Strike Back has returned.
